GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR. Keep your criminals.

GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR. Keep your criminals.

While legal immigrants and illegal aliens come to America for an improved standard of living, those millions of foreigners are decidedly harming the quality of life for many in this nation -- from those who have been displaced in their jobs by cheap immigrant workers to taxpayers paying for endless infrastructure and services, students getting a worse education in radically "diverse" classrooms and crime victims who have suffered at the hands of criminal aliens in this country.A November 2006 WorldNetDaily piece (ht-Jules Crittenden) reported that twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That's 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001. But the carnage wrought by illegal alien murderers represents only a fraction of the pool of blood spilled by American citizens as a result of an open border and un-enforced immigration laws.

THE ENEMY AMONG US. While the report says that 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, it says that an additional 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers each day - for another annual death toll of 4,745. That's 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001. And while the actual number of all U.S. accidents caused by illegal aliens aren't tracked by the government, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year's 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens. And the deaths are just the tip of the iceberg. In its Feb. 27, 07 piece titled, "More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says" Family Security Matters estimates that the 267,000 illegal aliens currently incarcerated in the nation are responsible for nearly 1,300,000 crimes, ranging from drug arrests to rape and murder. So much for the claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime. Just as these illegal aliens shouldn't be here in the first place, and the people they killed shouldn't have died and the people the robbed or raped shouldn't have been victimized, Vicente Ignacio Beltran Moreno (or whatever his real name is) shouldn't have been here and 13-year-old Clay Moore shouldn't have been kidnapped, and wouldn't have, if the U.S. government had done its job of keeping the illegal Mexicans from crossing our borders in the first place.

ALL OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK ALL THE TIME. The man suspected of kidnapping a 13-year-old boy and leaving him tied to a tree in the woods in a ransom scheme reportedly is an illegal alien who had already been deported once. Doesn't belong here. Shouldn't be tying people to trees here.

Kidnapper Of 13 Year-old Florida Boy Is A Previously Deported Illegal Alien.Of course you'd never know this from the headlines of the AP report which refers to the previously deported illegal Mexican as "Man" (ht-Dan Riehl). You have to read far down in the body of the AP article to learn that the kidnapper, 22 year-old Vicente Ignacio Beltran Moreno, is an "undocumented immigrant" (read as illegal alien, a criminal in the first instance, even prior to kidnapping a 13 year-old boy for ransom). Beltran, a native of Mexico, had worked at the farm three years ago, but later became a laborer for an aluminum contractor. Beltran-Moreno lived with his girlfriend in a the house, which is in the 3700 block of 17th Street Court East. Authorities executed a search warrant on his home Sunday, March 4 and recovered a rough draft of a ransom note. Obtaining the warrants took longer than expected due to the suspected kidnapper's multiple aliases. Beltran-Moreno is an undocumented immigrant who at one time was deported from the United States. "The ransom note is at least a ransom note that was prepared to be given to someone or it was a practice ransom note, but we have fitted it to this case and it absolutely pertains to the motive for the abduction of Clay Moore," said Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells. Clay Moore was kidnapped at gun point from his school bus stop. Clay was abducted Friday just before 9 a.m. while he waiting for his school bus with 15 other students. The Manatee School of the Arts student was forced at gunpoint into the truck from the stop at the Kingsfield Lakes subdivision in Parrish. Authorities believe it was planned as a ransom attempt, but Moore escaped on his own. Early Friday morning, Clay was ordered to get into a red Ford Ranger, bound and taken to a wooded rural area about 20 miles away. Clay freed himself after he was left alone and then walked until he found a farm worker with a cell phone.

Authorities said Clay was chosen at random. They believe Beltran-Moreno planned to keep Clay tied up in the wooded area until the ransom was met. Clay was waiting with about 15 other students when a man pointed a gun and forced him into an older model red pick-up truck. The abductor drove Clay for about 20 miles to Faulkner Farms off of State Road 64 in Myakka City. He led the boy into a heavily wooded area, where he bound the boy to trees using duct tape and gagged him with one of his own socks.The man told Clay he would return, before driving from the ranch. Clay sat for about two hours before using a safety pin to free himself. He stumbled through the rural area until coming upon a farmworker on a tractor, who spoke little English but had a cell phone.Clay dialed his mother at 1:30 p.m. and told her he was safe.Deputies traced the boy's call and found him, ending the nightmarish 4½-hour ordeal.

"Obviously what threw everything into a spin was when the kid escaped," Wells said. Wells credited the teen's keen eye for detail with breaking the case. Clay was driven to a rural area and tied to a tree, Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells said.The boy used a safety pin he had hidden in his mouth to cut through duct tape and other bonds that were holding him, authorities and his parents said. (Full story)He walked until he came upon some farm workers and was able to borrow a cell phone to call his parents. Information that Clay gave authorities led them to issue an arrest warrant for Beltran-Moreno on charges of armed kidnapping and aggravated assault."He was right on the money with the information that he gave us," Wells said. Police recovered the red pickup truck allegedly used in the kidnapping at the suspect's home in Bradenton, Florida.During their investigation, police recovered a handwritten ransom note less than a page long, possibly intended for Clay's parents, that contained unspecified threats, Wells said."It was his intention, the suspect's intention, to leave Clay Moore tied in the woods until he got his money," Wells said.

Kidnapper was afraid of being locked up in a Mexican prison, so he turned himself in on the Texas side of the border.

Vicente Ignacio Beltran-Moreno, 22, turned himself over to U.S. authorities after walking across the U.S.-Mexico border at the Hidalgo County crossing, Maj. Connie Shingledecker said at a news conference.Beltran-Moreno had fled to Sinaloa state on Mexico's Pacific coast soon after the February 23 abduction of Clay Moore, 13, Shingledecker said.The suspect was with relatives in his native Mexico, and authorities persuaded him to turn himself in Wednesday in Texas through a series of daily phone calls, Shingledecker said.She said arrangements were being made to extradite Beltran-Moreno from Texas.Authorities say Beltran-Moreno abducted the boy at gunpoint from a school bus stop in Parrish, Florida, about 30 miles southeast of St. Petersburg, Florida.

The USA is not rough on illegal immigrants. If you think the USA is tough on illegals, look at how Mexico treats the undocumented. Mexican criminals would rather vacation in US maximum security prisons than spend one day in a Mexican jail. Beltran-Moreno was more than happy to be given the opportunity to surrender in Texas when he found out that the US was about to ask the Mexican authorities to detain him.

In 2005 when the US Congress talked about making the presence of illegal immigrants in the US a felony, no country cried more loudly or with more indignation than Mexico. Then-President Vincente Fox called such legislation "shameful", and siad the undocumented workers were "heroes".

In Mexico, an illegal immigrant is subject to 2 years in jail, plus a monetary fine. Anyone deported and caught reentering Mexico, faces 10 years in jail. That is Article 123 of the General Population Law.Close estimates are that over 185,000 illegal immigrants are caught in Mexico each year. Most come from Guatemala and Honduras, and they are on their way to "El Norte", the pet term by which illegals fundly refer to the United States.

There are 48 Mexican Detention Centers in Mexico. They have no hot water and no telephones. (So, how is a guy supposed to make his one Constitutionally allowed phone call? Not in Mexico. That is when you reach El Norte.)

The Mexican commission on Human Rights have documented cases of up to 78 illegals being crammed into cells designed to hold only 4 prisoners. They are often denied food and water for the first 24 hours.

Is there any wonder that accused criminals would scramble to surrender across the Border in Texas or California than in Mexico. They might be crazy; but, they are not stupid.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon met with President Bush on 13 March 2007 in Merida, Yucatan Peninsula.

President Bush, working to rebuild strained U.S.-Mexico relations, promised he would do his best to get a deeply divided U.S. Congress to change American immigration policies that are hated south of the border. My pledge to you and your government, but more important to the people of Mexico, is I'll work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform," Bush said during a sun-splashed arrival ceremony that opened two days of meetings with Mexican President Felipe Calderon in this Yucatan Peninsula tourist haven.

Relations between the two border countries have only grown worse since Bush signed a law calling for construction of more than 700 miles of new fencing along the long border the two countries share.

Calderon has lambasted the fence — a mix of physical and high-tech barriers. He likens it to the Berlin Wall, and argues that both countries need to improve Mexico's economy to lessen the desire to seek work in the United States.

Before their talks, Calderon had a tough message for Bush: The United States must do more to solve thorny issues of drug-trafficking and immigration.

We fully respect the right that the government and the people of the United States has to decide within its territory what will be best for their concerns and security," he said as he welcomed Bush. "But at the same time we do consider in a respectful way that" migration can't be stopped with a fence.Calderon, a conservative who narrowly won the contested July election, is under pressure from a strong leftist opposition to alleviate poverty affecting half of Mexico's citizens, and refrain from being a subordinate to the more powerful United States. The Mexican leader has said he's not interested in being Bush's front man for battling Chavez' rising influence.

The biggest hurdle, Bush said, is figuring out what to do with the 12 million illegal immigrants already in the United States. The president has proposed a guest worker plan that would allow legal employment for foreigners and give some illegals a shot at becoming American citizens. Critics say this rewards unlawful behavior.

Illegal Aliens More Likely to Commit Crimes: Study says. March 12, 2007.People who violate immigration laws are more likely to violate other laws, according to an immigration reform group that said the findings differ from previous studies showing that immigrants to the United States commit fewer crimes.The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said these previous studies - especially one last month by the Immigration Policy Center (IPC) - "are misleading because they lump legal and illegal immigrants together.""The use of that [U.S. Census Bureau] data is virtually guaranteed to demonstrate a lower incidence of criminal activity because of the screening process to which legal immigrants and long-term foreign residents are subjected," Jack Martin, special projects director for FAIR, told Cybercast News Service.Martin noted that legal immigrants are required to submit police reports and records of any criminal convictions that could exclude them from being issued a U.S. visa. Furthermore, non-immigrants planning to visit the U.S. and applying for a visa are also required to disclose any past criminal activity on their part."Our immigration law has a large number of exclusions covering previous criminal activity intended to protect the American public from possible future crime," he said.FAIR said that "deportable aliens nationwide were nearly twice as likely to be incarcerated for crimes as their share of the population." The group adds that there is "mounting evidence that illegal immigration is directly linked to violent crime in this country.""IPC, which is part of the network of advocacy groups lobbying for an illegal alien amnesty, is clearly fudging the facts to advance their political objectives," charged Dan Stein, president of FAIR."Local law enforcement authorities are correct to be concerned about growing populations of illegal residents because, on average, they are more likely to commit crimes," he said."Our failure to control illegal immigration poses a real and documentable risk to the security of the American people," Stein added. "Innocent Americans are often victims of personal and property crimes committed by illegal aliens."IPC Director Benjamin Johnson defended the group's study and its use of Census Bureau data."We didn't distinguish between legal and illegal [immigrants], but we didn't exclude illegal aliens, or undocumented immigrants, in the study. They're in the data analysis as well," he said."The findings in our study are consistent with the findings of studies looking at this issue for the last 100 years," Johnson argued. "This is not new information. It is simply a reality that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes."Turning the criticism around, Johnson took issue with the data FAIR uses from the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP). State authorities use the program to request reimbursement from the federal government for the money spent on detaining illegal immigrants."There are two problems with that data, and therefore two problems with FAIR's report," he said."Their data talks about days of incarceration," said Johnson. "The problem is we know that many of the same immigrants are picked up two or three times, so the problem with the data is that it counts the same person multiple times. It doesn't sort out whether those days reflect different people or the same people."The second problem, he said, was the fact that much of the detentions for which the federal government is reimbursing states relate to people who may be deportable for status violations but "have not committed a crime.""Many people never committed any crime," Johnson asserted. "It's an administrative violation. You have to think of it in terms of tax law - not everybody who makes a mistake on their taxes is guilty of the crime of tax evasion."Martin defended FAIR's use of SCAAP figures, saying it was "the only data that offers a useful look at illegal status".

Girl, 11, escapes abductor.In a case that is eerily reminiscent of the Samantha Runnion abduction and murder, an 11 year old girl walking to her school bus stop was snatched by a knife-wielding man at 9 a.m. in Southern Orange County near Aliso Viejo, California on 22 March. She was able to escape and give police a partial description of the perpetrator.A similar attack had occurred on 16 March in the same area. Police suspect both attacks were perpetrated by the same man. He is described as 30 to 40 years old, medium build, 68 to 71 inches tall, dark eyes and spiked brown hair, driving a banged-up white pickup truck with a camper shell and blue stripes on the side.Samantha Runnion, 5 years old, was abducted in broad daylight outside her family’s Stanton condominium complex in 2002. She was sexually assaulted and killed.Anyone with any information is asked to call the Orange County Sheriff’s Department at 714-628-7170.

A lady wrote the best letter in the editorials in ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house). According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan You are Required to Educate my kids You are Required to Provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself.

I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house.

And what a deal it is for me!!!

I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - A motel in northern Mexico is putting steel doors on its rooms to protect guests from kidnappings and shootings in an escalating war between rival drug cartels.

Owners of the Rancho El Trueno, or Thunder Ranch, began fortifying the highway motel near Monterrey a year ago but have decided to shield all 35 rooms as drug killings have worsened in the area in recent months.

"We want people to have fun and be able to feel safe. Lovers come, big groups come, we are full on weekends," said Emilio Massa, the motel manager.

He said the owners came up with the idea after guests in nearby motels were shot and kidnapped.

"Do drug gangs come? Well you never know, do you?" Massa said to the grating sound of machines cutting steel doors to put on the rooms.

Thunder Ranch charges 150 pesos ($13.80) for three hours or 400 pesos a night for a room. It also boasts a huge suite with a swimming pool, palm trees, a water slide, a sauna, pool tables and video screens.

"Our suite is booked up weeks ahead of time," Massa said.

In most roadside motels in northern Mexico, guests drive into a covered parking space and close a plastic curtain behind their car before entering their room.

But Massa says guests need more security than that.

"The violence is terrible," he said. "We found a dead body just a few meters (yards) away the other day."

At least 70 people have been killed in drug violence this year in Monterrey as a coalition of cartels run by Mexico's most wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, vies for control of smuggling routes run by the Gulf Cartel near Texas.

Nationwide, some 1,000 people have died in drug-related killings this year and a military-backed assault on the gangs that smuggle narcotics into the United States has so far been unable to stop the violence.
